predict that unless there is radi-
cal change in the method of feeding
and rearing hogs that this great in.
dustry will become a thing of the past.
l am not sure that our breeders are
not largely to blame, for they have
carried the point of high breeding and
early maturity too far. 1t has not
been entirely their fault either, for the
buyers of pigs have demanded that
they be fat and overgrown, for when a
man pays high price for pig he
wants it to look so we'll as to impress
his neigbors with its superiority when
they come to see it, and as corn will
make fat cheaper and quicker than any
other food, the pigs to be sold for
breeders have been pushed as fast as
corn could do it, and have been sent
out tit for the block, and the breeder
who did not do this could not compete
with those who did. This system has
boon carried on for many generations
until the constitution of the animals
has been weakened, until it invites dis
ease, and when it comes they die off
like flies. | do not suppose we can
escape disease entirely by attention to
sanitary laws in tho rearing of our
pigs, but the risk and loss can be
greatly reduced and possibly in time
the tendency to disease overcome.
| am quite sure also that if farmers
would grow more oats and pumpkins
and feed more bran, they would make
as cheap Eyes. think much cheaper)
pork than with exclusive cOrn-feeding.
Because hogs were fed nothing but
corn in early days and did we'll on it,
and because we have always seen it
used as the chief food for them, we
have followed along the old track until
the time has come that some change
must be made. But" says some old
farmer. "a have raised hogs on corn
alone for fifty years; if it is such 2
dangerous food why didn't it kill off
the hogs long agoP" Please remember
that this is new country, and that in
most localities it is not thirty years
since the hogs ran at large, and found
nuts from the beech, oak, hickory and
other trees, and roots of many kinds in
the woods, and that it took many years
of unscientific feeding to undermine the
strong constitution inherited from wild
ancestors. and maintained by a natural
mode of living, just as it will now take
many years TO breed out the tendency
to disease which has so firm a hold
on them. OF one thing am convinced
that without a radical change in the
method of raising hogs the day is not
distant when the business will become
so Improbable that it must be aban-
doned; and, on the other hand, believe
it possible in few generations to ex-
terminate the disease Waldo T..

THE N. w. c. T. U. AND LABOR
Proposed Combination of Forces Which

Proposed Combination of Forces Which
Bids Fair to Do a World of Good for
the Cause.
The address of the National Wom-
ms Christian Temperance Union sent
out from Chicago to the labor organi-
cations is worthy of the atten-
ton and careful study of all
working-men. The Union is an earn
est and efficient worker in the field of
reform. 1t is composed wholly of
women, and its efforts have been di-
rected largely towards creating SEN
timent among the sex against
the liquor traffic. While this is
the main it is not the only pur-
pose of the organization. 1t makes
war upon intemperance in all its forms
and endeavors to educate women up to
better and nobler ideas of home and
the family. The good it has accomp-
lished already is incalculable and the
future promises it broadening field
of usefulness.
The latest move of the Union is an
offer to cooperate with the Knights of
Labor and other trade organizations in
elevating labor. 1t does not propose
to accomplish this, however, by con-
solidating with the labor unions and so
making them more formidable in num-
bers only. 1t seeks to improve the
working mans condition by making
him a purer, more happy and more
useful man. To this end the Union
asks the labor organizations to aid it in
checking intemperance in the use of
intoXicants, in extending a knowledge
of hygiene, of healthful food, of home
economics and of the laws Of health
among the men and women who labor
for their daily bread. These are the
lines along which the Christian Tenn
perance women of the land will gladly
cooperate with the labor unions in
their effort to elevate the working-man.
1t is to be hoped that this proffer of so
strong and so efficient a reinforcement
in the battle for labor will not be ig-
nored by the trade-unions The great
est obstacle in the path of the working
man has been his own disregard of the
laws of health and economy. Against
this barrier of ignorance reformers
have dashed in vain and philanthro-
pists have made but little Roadway
Until it is broken down and the work
ing-man is taught the necessity for OBJ
serving the laws of health, of economy
and Temperance there can be no real
elevation of the working classes.-Phal-

LITTLE THINGS.

How We May Contribute Largely to the
Happiness of Our Neighbors. "a
The round of life's duties is made up
of little things. But few persons have
either the ability or the opportunity to
do any great act, by which their coun-
try and their race are especially bene-
flied and their own names rendered
illustrious. Such acts are reserved for
the few, and the occasion for them but
seldom occurs. They are exceptional
in their character, and are not con-
nected with the everyday duties of
life. The things which constitute the
sum of duty and enjoyment are little
things connected with our ordinary
pursuits and daily and hourly inter
course with each other. Considered
sep arately they may appear to be in
significant but regarded in the aggre-
gate, they exert the most powerful in
f1uence upon our own character and
happiness, and also upon the char
acter and happiness of others.

little thing, but seconds null

ing from the river, lake and sea, are
very little things, yet they form the
rain that descends in copious showers
to refresh and cheer the earth. The
rills that murmur through thousand
wales are but little things, yet they con-
stitute the majestic rivers which form
the mighty ocean. And so with the
little things of life however tritling
they may appear, our happiness and
usefulness depend almost exclusively
upon them.
In our daily intercourse with each
other, in the family and in general So
ciety, we can not estimate the effects
produced by little acts of kindness, by
words of sympathy and encourage
ment. looks of interest and approval,
and by a thousand little attentions ex-
pressive of the kindly feeling of the
heart. 1t is these little things that i'm
perceptibly draws us to each other and
make sunshine on our pathway. Any
one may perform these little acts of
kindness, and in so doing become a
zeal philanthropist, and contribute
largely to the happiness of others. -

A QUESTIONABLE" EXAMPLE.

The Sound Criticisms Made by the Mis-
souri, Temperance Women Upon Mrs.
Whitney's Wine Dinner.
1t can not be questioned that the.
Missouri Temperance women have
made strong point in the resolutions
they have passed by regretting the bad
example set by Mrs Whitney and her
female guests. That there are those
who may not be able to go through
such dinner with safety is shown by
the deplorable and Notifying event
which occurred in Louisville lately,
when Cleveland heiress and society
belle, who had been to a club dinner
with theater party, subsequently APP
peared in her box intoxicated and dis
turbed both audience and players by
her actions Had one of the males OF
this party been intoxicated and made
that fact conspicuous he could have
been put out of the theater by call
ing policeman. and it would not have
been 1.-THE as deplorabe in society
eyes as the conduct of this Young
woman. 1t is difficult to conceive of
any thing more Notifying to herself
and to her friends and family than this
occurrence. and yet it grew out of such
an occasion as that of Mrs. Whitney's,
and the same accident might have hap
pened to any one of her guests. No.
one will credit Mrs. Whitney with
wrong intentions, or with the slightest
improperly from her point of view, for
dinners of that kind are not uncommon
in fashionable society. 1t is the exam
pie set by women in exalted positions
that the Missouri Temperance women
regret, and therein lies the danger.
Does it not set dungeons eXampleP
Is it not likely that others may follow
it? In fact, is it not one of the most
common arguments made by those in
lower walks of life that they can do
certain questionable things so long as
wealthy and fashionable people do
them without rebuke?- Chicago Trid-

HEDGE FENCES.
Usage Orange Said to BE tho Most Useful
for Ordinary Use.

Usage Orange Said to BE tho Most Useful
for Ordinary Use.
From time to time some one inquiries
about the responsibility of certain
hedge companies and the merits of
hedge fence. This fence question Is a
burning one and needs to be dis
cussed in season and out, much the
same as the clover problem. For per-
manent fence, as along the highway
and for division fences, along banks of
streams, ETC., there is no fence, in my
estimation, that equals Usage orange,
when properly grown. The great
principle that underles the making of
u good hedge, claimed by the hedge
companies, is never to bend the canes,
but give them the proper inclination
(forty-five degrees) beneath the ground.
Curving or binding the canes ruins
them. l had mile of this hedge put
in for me over seven years ago, SO that
my opportunities have been good for
indng out the easiest ways of doing
things and the merit of the fence,
The Usage orange is the best material
for permanent fence, along roads,
streams and division lines. The wire
and picket fence is an excellent one,
easily and cheaply made, durable and
effective, turning all stock, from Il
chicken to bull. With Usage hedge
for permanent outside hedge, and wire
and picket for fields, it would seem as
though we had little to desire in the
way of fences. DR.. Il. T. johnson, in

A REVIEW.

Let us sit down, my soul, in the twilight,
And take up the past in review;
Let us balance accounts with the Old Year
Before we begin with the New.
There are moments we've squandered or wasted
Bhghted hours which we can not recall
And the book-keeper Time, in his day-book
Has carefully notice them all.
Has he charged us with cruel words spoken,
With acts and intents to deceive?
Are there hearts that our conduct has broken
Have we turned from the cry of the needy
Nor listed the sufferers call?
Have we walked in the path OF the tempter
And Kissed when the weaker would fall!
If the boolx-keeper Time, to our credit,
Some kindness has marked by the way,
Some burdens we've striVen to tighten,
Some grieis we've tried to allay;
If by labor and kindness we've lifted
Some outcast from darkness and sin,
And sought to the sweet path O.. virtue
Their faltering footsteps to win;
If we've given of food to the hungry,
The cold and the destitute clad
Have comforted mourners in sorrow.
And the hearts of the sick have made glad
Then methinlls the kind Father in Heaven
These items will take in review,
And square our accounts with the Old Year
Before we begin with the New.

Work for the Doctor.

There is little thought among the
beer-drunking public of this country
that they are taking into their systems
poisonous substance quite as deadly
and as fatal as alcohol; not, perhaps,
attended with consequences so disas-
trous to the mental system, but quite
as sure to end in bodily ruin and death.
Natives OF Germany may suppose that.
here they are consuming liquor SINH
lar to that made in their own country,
but it is serious error; the two arti-
Giles are entirely unlike.
A large proportion of glucose enters
into the composition of American beer,
and glucose can not be manufactured
without the use of sulphuric acid, a.
deadly poison. This acid comes in
direct contract with the grain, and in
the production of the strip enough of
it remains behind to faint the whole
mass, and this poison gets into and
becomes part of the beer. Taken
into the human system, its effects
upon the liver and kidneys is destruct-
i've of these organs; inflammation and
enlargement of the liver and soften.
ing and wasting of the kidneys ensue.
Dropsy and death follow; the victims go
to their graves on their own bier.
There are but two advantages at
tendant upon this deadly habit. One,
is that the beer-drinker is unconscious
ly demonstrating the truth of Darwin's
theory of the survival of the tittest;''
he is wedding out the useless scrubs
out of the human race. And the other
is that he is furnishing constant en-
ployment for the doctoy and the I'M
dertaker. George 4. Shweldt, IN CHI

A PROPOSED REFORM,

a Plan to Meet the Wants of Young Men
Who Go Abroad for "Jolly Company"
There is much talk of how best to
reduce the surplus in the National
Treasury This amounts to perhaps
S9O,000,000 year. 1t represents that
amount of taxes drawn from the peo-
pie each year above what is needed for
the expenses of Government But
there is tax many times larger than
this which the people pay and which,
instead of being banked up in the Ma
tional Treasury, is worse than thrown
away. Each year the people of this
country pay about 800, 600, 600 for al
coholic liquors. Here is tax nearly
eight times as great as that which pro
duces the surplus, and It's reduction or
abolition is a subject worthy of con-
slant thought and effort Many ways
have been devised to accomplish this,
but none have as yet been wholly sue
cessful, although substantial progress
has been made.
a new movement is now being set on
foot in New York, from which good re-
suits are hoped for. 1t is the estab-
lishment of coffee-houses. modelled on
the London plan, as counter-attraction
to the saloons. 1t is argued, and with
truth, that many young men fall into
the drinking habit, not from a natural
love of liquor. but because of the social
surroundings in which liquor assumes
tempting and seductive form. Very
often the evenings recreation after the
days work is sought in the saloon be-
cause it is the most convenient place of
meeting. In the presence of liquor
and among companions who drink, the
young man falls an easy prey to the
vice of intemperance.
Now it is proposed to have coffee
saloons as well as whisky and beer sa-
looms; places where the warmth, at
tractiveness and companionship now
sought in the liquor-saloons may be
found. but where the refreshment shall
be cup of coffee or of tea instead of
the liquor that inebriates. 1t is not
expected that these coilee-saloons will
at once crowd out the other kind of
saloons. Perhaps they never will do
So But if they divide the patronage
OF the liquor-saloons and take half or a
share of their custom, they will have
accomplished a great deal. Why not
try the plan in Chicago?-- Chicago

What the Great Breweries Are Doing for

A paper on 1.-The Commercial As
